Why don't Harding- give it up now?
Mexico these days is too good to be true. ________________
What goes up must come down. Let us hope it is high prices.
Germany's war debt is over sixty billions. And all they got for it was trouble.
The Harding boom has. been dragged to the bottom, with Boss Penrose holding it down.________________
The man now with a smile is the man with something in his cellar, coal or othewise.
From indications so far, the women voters in Baltimore county are going to support Cox, Smith and Benson.
Big League baseball has become fouled from "filthy lucre,", but fortunately the game on the lots is still clean.
So far, the right of suffrage does not seem to have interfered in any way with the normal progress of the wedding march.
If the fellow who works in the office carries his dinner pail we are wondering if he will get the wages that go with it.___________
Senator Harding, when _ he left Maryland after his speech in Baltimore on Monday night, left all political hopes behind.
Is Baltimore county to be the experiment for the balance of the counties in the United States? Let some other county try the charter form of government first.
Don't be hoodwinked by those advocating the new charter, who state it wfll be a cheaper form of government than we now have. A careiui investigation will prove to you that it will be more costly.
Weary of the bossing of Congress by Boise Penrose, the Republican master' Thousands upon thousands feel that way. Therefore, the Second District votersl will give Benson a good substantial majority.
The new charter will be like a bull in a china shop, and we all know what effect the appearance of such an animal would have on the wares of such a place. It would create havoc and destruction.
That Maryland's Senior Senator, John Walter Smith, will win out in November there is n0 question ot doubt. Men and women alike usually like to reward a man for faithful public service.
The political circus, conducted by Price-Watson & Dietz (limited), is still touring Baltimore county, playing the small towns. Professor Price the expert juggler, juggles the charter from every angle, but on nearly every occasion makes some bad "slips."
Albert A. Blakeney, the Republican candidate for Congress from the Second Congressional District, is a genial old gentleman No one will deny this fact, but the Second District needs a young and vigorous representative at Washington. It needs a man like Carville D. Benson, the Democratic nominee.
O E Weller, the Republican candidate for the United States Senate, in all of his political advertisements, brags about the fact that he was educated at the U. S. Naval Academy gratis, but hesitates) to state that he did not serve a day in the Navy. He studied four years, then played the part of a quitter.
Conditions generally, now, are too uncertain for a radical, sweeping change in our local government. For years and years Baltimore county has prospered and progressed under the present form, so why allow men with such radical views as those who are now advocating a new and untried scheme to put across their pet measure at the polls. Baltimore county is the first county in the United States to create a charter board and will, if the charter is adopted, be the first county to have such a form of government. Surely the voters do not want this rich and prosperous municipality to be the experiment, an experiment that in all probability will result disastrously.
WELCOME THE WOMEN VOTERS-
The Jeffersonian extends a hearty welcome to the women of Baltimore county who are about to become voting citizens, and invites them to affiliate with the Democratic party.
In extending this invitation we have no apology to offer, because the Democracy of Baltimore county has proven itself worthy of the support of all good citizens, both male and female.
With one or two exceptions, the public affairs of Baltimore county from the time of its creation until the present day have been administered by
successive Democratic administrations, and no fair-minded citizen will dispute the fact that the county, under Democratic rule, has made wonderful progress and has been one of the best governed counties in the United States. It has unquestionably been the pioneer county in Maryland in all movements looking to the advancement of the civilization of the State. Its system of public education is not only the most efficient of any of the counties of the State, but it is also looked upon as one^of the most efficient of any of the courities in the forty-eight States that now comprise the American Union. Educators from other States have in recent years frequently visited Baltimore county for the purpose of studying and adopting its educational methods.
The public roads of Baltimore county also excel over the roads in any other county and compare favorably with the1 roads in the richest counties of the nation.
The police and fire departments in the county are adequate and efficient. Our courts are presided over by judges of the highest learning and integrity and law and order is generally reslpect-ed and maintaned throughout the county. The Towson courthouse is one of the finest in the country and the almshouse and other public buildings are in keeping with the county's greatness and progress.
And yet all these improvements have been brought about by direct taxation. Baltimore county is one of the few counties in the United States that is. without a bonded debt. Its Democratic administrators have always insisted upon "paying cash" as they went along and the result is that the county now has no creditors to worry with and its tax rate is lower than that of any other county in the State, and not more than half the rate in Baltimore City.
We feel, therefore, in inviting the women voters of the county to join the Democratic ranks that we are not asking them to join bad company.
The good women of Baltimore county have an opportunity this fall to help defeat the proposed new county charter, which the foremost citizens of the county, after careful study of its provisions, have declared would, if adopted, be inimical to the best interests of the county.
And, furthermore, they have an opportunity to help elect Cox and Roosevelt, and a Democratic Congress, and thus assure the ratification of the Treaty of Versailles, and the entry of the United States into the League of Nations.
THE LEAGUE ISSUE PREDOMINANT
SENATOR HARDING AND THE LEAGUE ISSUE.
Senator Harding. the Republican nominee for President. In his prepared more Monday night. In his prepared speech he made no reference whatsoever to the paramount issue of the campaign—i.e. whether the United States should go in or stay out ot the League of Nations. Edward A. Ryan, a Washington lawyer, after discovering that Senator Harding had dodged the issue in his prepared speech arose and asked the candidate whether, if elected President, he intended to "scrap" the League of Nations. Mr. Ryan was yanked off to a police station for "butting in," but he accomplished his purpose. He "smoked Senator Harding out. And this id what the latter said:
"He (meaning Ryan) wanted to know whether I had promised to scran the League. The great failure to make the most of America's leadership m the world was due to the fact that one man attempted to speak, not only for America, but for the remainder of the world as well. I shouldn't do that.
Vl'm perfectly frank to say to you that I am without a single program constructive in character about an association of nations. I do know this .one thing definitely, however: The Democratic nominee for President say= he's in favor of going into the League as it wast fashioned at Vrsailles. 1 m not in favor of going into that League When I'm elected President the first thing I'll do is to try to find a plan for an association of nations behind which all America will stand."
Senator Harding's own admission proves that what the Democrats have been saying all along is absolutely true to wit: That he doesn't really know where he stands on the.League is^ul Ex-President Taft and other staunch Republicans, who favor the League, say that Senator Harding s stand suits them, and Senator Johnson and other equally staunch Republic-Ins who are opposed to going into anv kind of a League, say that Senator Harding's stand suits them So there you have it. The distinguished Republican nominee is "straddling. You can't make anything else out of it. (
He savs- "The one great failure to make the most of America's leadership in the world was due to the fact that one man attempted to speak, not only for America, but for the remainder of the world as well." He means President Wilson, of course. Just a natural outcropping'of the Senatorial jealousy which from the beginning of the peace negotiations has embarmssed the SSi v>Ts^CaSPO^Snir anfoufmfo^

>**«««*************^**************^^
The Presidential campaign is now on in dead earnest and the issues are being more clearly drawn from day to day.
The predominant issue is, whether the United States shall become a member of the League of Nations, which is already a functioning body, composed of thirtyVseven member nations, or whether it shall remain an outcast along with Germany, Austria, Turkey and Mexico.
President Wilson was largely responsible, as the spokesman at the Peace Conference for the United States, for incorporating into the Treaty of Versailles tiie covenant of the League of Nations/* the prime object of which was to promote the peace of the world. All the nations of the earth of "any consequence, except the enemy nations, Mexico and the United States, have since subscribed to the Covenant.
Why has the United States up to this time failed to join the League? Simply becauste of the determined opposition of a cabal of Republican Senators. Fortunately the voters of the country know exactly where the responsibility lies, and Senator Harding, with his j gift for high-sounding words and I meaningless phrases, can not now dodge that responsibility, for he was one of those who helped to delay the ratification of the treaty.
President Wilson may not have brought back from Versailles a treaty perfect in all respects. No doubt the theaty that was signed was not entirely to his liking, nor was it entirely to the liking of our allies.. But it was undoubtedly the best treaty that the President could obtain, with so many conflicting interests to satisfy, and it was upon the whole the greatest peace document known in human history.
It is interesting to note what some very eminent Republicans thought of the President's work when the Treaty had been completed, notably Governor Coolidge, of Massachusetts, now the Vice-Presidential nominee of the Republican party, who in an address of welcome at Boston to the President on his return trip from France, said:
"We welcome him with a reception more marked than even that which was accorded to Gen. George Washington, more united than could have been at any time during his life to President Abraham Lincoln. We welcome him as the representative of a great people, as a great statesman, as one to whom we have intrusted our destiny and one whom we assure we will support in the future in the working out of that destiny as Massachusetts has supported him in the past."
Ex-President Taft, Elihu Root, Hughes and other Republicans at that, time were equally complimentary in the;r references to President Wilson's achievements, some going so far as to say that the treaty which he brought back from Paris was "the greatest document for safe-guarding civilization since the Magna Charta." But Messrs. Lodge, Knox, Brandegee, Borah, Hardin"g and other high lights in the Senatorial oligarchy, succeeded in committing the Republican party to a policy of obstruction, and the question of the ratification or rejection of the treaty is now squarely before the voters of the country
Those who favor the United States "going in" the League of Nations, should vote for Cox and Roosevelt; those who favor the oposite course, should vote for Harding and Coolidge. There is no other course open.

HAS LARGEST ENROLLMENT
(Continued from Page 1—Col 2) of Teachers' College, Columbia ' University. Miss Banks has alsp a teaching assignment in the Department of Education.
The Y. W. C .A. and the Girl Scouts organizations at the school,have been very active. The Y. W. C. A. entertained the entire school Thursday afternoon, Sept. 16, on the lawn. County stunts were the order of the program. Harford county, Baltimore and Caroline counties led in cleverness of ideas. The Seniors, whose president is Miss Sarah Silver, of Baltimore county, entertained the Junior and Academic classes at an informal dance last Friday evening.
The Girl Scouts are planning a hike and out-of-doors supper for this evening (Saturday) out on the Joppa Road. Practically all the students, and the faculty have signed up for the good time.
Some Saturday activities which are being planned are a sight-ateeing trip through Baltimore, a trip to Washington, a trip to a model dairy farm, a j visit to the Stock Exchange and the i Clearing House of .Baltimore, a trip to the Doylestown, Pa., Museum of History (the only one of its kind in the United States; it is called the Tools of the Nation Museum and shows the evolution of lighting, transportation, etc., from, colonial day to the present time). O'h this trip the students will have an opportunity to see Philadel-'¦ phia as well as the Museum at Doylest-{town, and to eat luncheon at the Foun-! tain Inn, made famous for its charming hospitality extended to General George Washington back in Revolutionary days. For some Saturdays theatre parties are planned, and the unusually fine music program offered in Baltimore this winter will offer additional opportunities for keeping the students in touch with the great artists and their works.
